Hi Folks,
I hope that you are continuing to improve and that your good days out number your bad days! I had a miraculous day recently. I went dancing for 2 hours. While I was dancing, the pain in my back, neck and legs would increase, so I would sit in my Lafooma chair for ten or fifteen minutes to rest my muscles, then get back up and dance some more. I really thought I would be in excruciating pain the next day because for past 12 years I haven’t been able to do any physical activity without it increasing my fibromyalgia pain or chronic fatigue exhaustion. It was all I could do just to keep myself fed and bathed, much less take a walk or dance. Much to my shock, when I woke up the next day I didn’t have any extra pain, no fibro-flare — in fact, I felt better than usual !!! I talked to my doctor about what I was experiencing and he was pleasantly surprised also. I asked him what had caused this because I want to make sure I keep doing it. He said he thinks it’s a combination of the water structure machine that he recommended I buy and the Synchronicity machine that he’s trying out in his Lexington, VA office which I’ve used once so far. I’m not “healed” yet, I have managed to over use my right arm doing some hand sewing and it’s hurting pretty bad, so I’m riding an hour from my home ( I still can’t drive that far yet ) tomorrow and next week to use the Synchronicity machine at least 2 more times in hopes of more improvement. My doctor’s not sure if he’s going to invest in the $19,000 Synchronicity machine, so I’m trying to use it as much as I can in case he doesn’t buy it. The water structure machine runs anywhere from $249 for a portable unit to $1000 for a whole house unit (which is what I bought). They also have a commercial unit for pools and hot tubs but I don’t remember the price ~~ fibro-fog LOL.
Anyway, if you’ve watched my welcome video at the right side of my blog, you’ve heard me state that being sick is expensive. So is getting well but it’s a lot more fun and seems like a much better investment to me! If you would like more information on either of these machines, feel free to contact me at (540) 366-6134.
As always, if you feel that this information would be useful to someone else, please feel free to share my blog on facebook, twitter or any other place that you believe it may be helpful.
Here’s to Feeling Better!

10 Comments and Pings on Water & Synchronicity to Reduce Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Symptoms
Glad to hear such wonderful news, Karla! The people who get well are the ones who never give up. People like you, Karla. You are an inspiration!
Karla,
That’s Great news! I would agree with you that getting well is a much better investment. I’m really happy to hear that your getting and “shaking your tail feathers”. Dance is a great form of exercise and it’s Fun. Sure Dancing With The Stars showcases some incredible dancing but for most of the world we just like to get out and dance, look comfortable and have some fun. Can’t wait to hear how your Salsa class goes

Karla,
It’s always good to hear positive results when one we know, or ourselves have been suffering in pain!
Thanks for sharing that with us!
I’m amazed at your ability to dance! As much as I love music and dance, I’m usually restricted to ‘dancing’ in my seat since I just don’t have the energy to dance and just can’t make the body and legs move to the beat! Not on my feet anyway!
I’m looking forward to hearing and learning more from you and your subscribers!
Gentle hugs!
Kathy
Thanks Kathy!
I’m pretty amazed myself. Feel free to read my other blogs or call me to see if there’s something I’m doing that you haven’t tried yet that may help you too. (540) 366-6134. I would love to hear that you’re up dancing on your feet again too!
Many Blessings,
Karla
Hi Karla!
What a fabulous story! I am excited for you that after so many years of no exercise that you can dance! What a miracle! Next thing you know, you’ll be an Olympic gymnast!
I know all about chronic pain. It is amazing that there are so many wonderful ways to address these issues today!
Mentor Mama
Hey Nancy,
Thanks! I was a gymnast once, but never Olympic quality so that would be a real miracle, besides, I think I’m over the age limit! LOL It’s great that there are so many ways to address pain as what works for one person doesn’t work for everyone.
Many Blessings,
Karla
